[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]fairly anecdotal, but i have pretty strong evidence with one recent grad and one senior in college.  One ivy, one non-ivy T20.  One econ major one hard science, both targeted consulting gigs/internships.  They tell old mom that everyone wants to be in gotham, and even Bain is a bit of a letdown if you are placed in Austin.  Rents / bars steer these kids to the East Village or lower East Side apparently.  As a lifetime DMVer, I just don’t see the allure of NYC - but keep me in check, does just about every kid want to live/work there?[/quote]

It is pretty traditional that kids come from wherever they grew up and of they can, go to college, get exposed to all sorts of new ideas, people and culture/food and then want to experience that further. That is why the rural areas get drained of people and population continues to grow in NYC, Boston, DC, Chicago, Atlanta, LA, SF etc.

I know plenty of children of friends who are cramming into small apartments in the village and having a blast.[/quote]
